Booked by 8 families in Higley, AZ

Hello! I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, and have an MA in Early Childhood Special Education. With experience working with children of all ages and abilities I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy supporting kids as they learn, play, and grow. I’ve worked with children in both educational and home-based settings and am comfortable with daily routines, homework help, and engaging activities. I strive to create a fun and structured environment, and I value clear, open communication with families. Safety, trust, and individualized care are always my top priorities. I enjoy reading, crochet and coffee - I appreciate any and all book or coffee shop recommendations!
